Residency and Fellowship Education

Starting in 2004 with a new relationship with the University of Washington, under the direction of Dr. Rick Matsen, and with the tremendous hands-on leadership from Dr. Chris Wahl, Pacific Medical began its University medical education initiative dedicated to Orthopedic residents and fellowship programs. Although fellowship programs and industry have worked together for many years, medical education tailored specifically to residency programs was not readily available. Our collaboration with the University of Washington and the commitment to the hands on cadaveric bio skills education became the envy of many residency programs. More than 200 residents and fellows from the University of Washington have visited Pacific Medical thru the years and we are very proud of the role we have played in the educational process of these young women and men, all of whom will forever be considered family to Pacific Medical. From this humble beginning with our Husky friends, the program has been expanded to include the best medical schools and residency programs on the west coast, including:

Madigan Army-Ft. Lewis, Washington

Oregon Health Sciences University (OHSU)

University of California, San Francisco (UCSF)

Stanford University

University of California, Davis

St. Mary’s, San Francisco

University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), Fresno Branch

Samaritan Residency program (Corvallis)

Valley Orthopedics Residency (Modesto)

We are extremely proud of the small role we have played in the development of countless residents and fellows thru the years, and consider this educational initiative to be a cornerstone of the philosophy of Pacific Medical’s mission. Our goal is to prepare aspiring residents and fellows to gain comfort and confidence that will enable them to be successful, as they complete their formal training and then embark on their career in orthopedics.
